“And, as for me, when I accept the Pandavas’ challenge I only honor the way of the ksha-triya. My dharma is to fight.
If I must, I will die fighting. Otherwise, I will make a bed of arrows for my enemies to sleep on forever. Isn’t that kshatriya dharma? To fight and either die or be killed. The warrior that dies without bowing his head to his enemy goes straight to heaven. Then why do you ask me to humiliate myself so I can save my own life? What will my miserable life be worth if I save it like that? I prefer to die without having submitted in spirit, than to live as less than a king. This is the law every kshatriya is born into and it is the only dharma I acknowledge. I mean to live or die by it, as fate decides.” - Duryodhana
